1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Deluxe Stitcher M17 Book Stitcher is a combination light & heavy duty stitcher designed to staple both flat and saddle work ranging in thickness from a few sheets to 5/16 (8mm). The stitcher is equipped with two heads standard, but can be operated with as many as ten 26D heads or eight G8 heads installed at one time. Maximum center to center distance is 16” (40.5 cm), minimum is approximately 1-7/8” (48mm).

The recommended wire sizes to be used on the M17 are as follows: Round wire - 25 to 30 for the 26D head, 24 to 28 for the G8 head. Either head can be equipped with optional 21 x 25 wire parts.

The M17 is easily adjusted from saddle work to flat work by means of tilting the 6 1/2” (16.5cm) x 33” (83.8cm) work table. An adjustable work guide and adjustable work stops are easily attached to the work table and provide for accurate registering of flat work for uniform spacing of staples.

The M17 is footswitch operated and is belt driven by a 3/4 HP motor, making possible operating speeds up to 200 stitches per minute. The motor is mounted on an adjustable bracket which can be raised or lowered for adjusting the driving belt tension. The machine driving mechanism is thoroughly shielded thus preventing the possibility of personal injury.

The M17 has a 14” (35.6cm) throat depth for both flat and saddle stitching. The work table is approximately 34” (86.4cm) above the floor, and there is approximately 17/32” (13.5mm). clearance between the top of the work table and the stitching head.

The M17 weighs approximately 445 lbs. (202 kgs) net, shipping weight is approximately 500 lbs. (227 kgs). With the table installed, the M17 requires about 33” (83.8cm) x 30” (76.2cm) of floor space.

Because of the length of the work table, the M17 must be secured to the floor to meet CE stability requirements. Sound level readings at the normal operator position are approximately 70 dBC.

2.0 INSTALLATION

The M17 is a free standing, floor mounted, wire stitcher. The following parts must be assembled after shipment: work table, spool bar brackets, spool bars, spool studs, wire spools, adjuster handwheel handle, and wire guide springs. The M17 can be lagged to the floor, if desired, after leveling.

Refer to the Operation Manual for the stitcher heads for instructions on how to attach the heads to the machine. As each successive head is installed, the machine should be turned over by hand (see instructions below).

Slide the stitching head(s) and clincher(s) to the desired location on the mounting rail. Place a spool of the proper sized wire on the spool studs located near the appropriate head. Thread the wire onto the head and make adjustments to wire length & straightness as described in the head Operation Manual.

Electrical power is provided through the attached line cord to be connected to an appropriate supply outlet rated as shown:

SUPPLY POWER

115 V / 60 HZ

230 V / 50 HZ

M17 RATED CURRENT

M17 INTERRUPT CURRENT, INTERNAL BREAKER

! WARNING DO NOT OPERATE THE M17 UNDER POWER UNTIL THE

MACHINE HAS BEEN TURNED OVER MANUALLY (SEE BELOW) TO VERIFY

THAT THE STITCHING HEADS ARE OPERATING FREELY.

2.1 BELT GUARD REMOVAL AND ASSEMBLY

! WARNING ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE

MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS OR SERVICING THE STITCHER.

The plastic belt guard must first be removed before the M17 can be turned over manually. To remove the belt guard, remove the retaining screws from the guard if provided. Press on one side tab while prying out the locking face. This will release the first tab. Next, pull down slightly on the top of the guard to release the bottom tab. Guard will now be free to lift off remaining tabs on mounting plate.

To reassemble, interlock the top tab and one side tab. Pull down slightly on top of guard to interlock bottom tab, then squeeze mounting plate and guard together to lock remaining tab, completing assembly. Reassemble the retaining screws of the guard if provided.

2.2 TURNING MACHINE MANUALLY

! WARNING ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE MAKING

ANY ADJUSTMENTS OR SERVICING THE STITCHER.

To turn the machine manually, it is necessary to first disconnect the power and remove the belt guard (see above). Locate the actuator assembly on the wrap spring clutch and push the actuator to pivot it away from the control collar cam, releasing the brake. The machine will rotate one revolution when the large drive pulley is turned manually in the direction of the arrow on the pulley (top of pulley toward front of machine).

3.0 OPERATING ADJUSTMENTS

The quality and quantity of work that can be stitched on the M17 is dependent upon the operator making the various operating adjustments as accurately as possible. The following information and instructions are provided so that the operator will clearly understand how to make the required operating adjustments.

3.1 ADJUSTING THE MACHINE FOR THICKNESS OF WORK (See Figure 2)

Unlock the Hand Wheel (G30128) by turning the Adjuster Crank Lock (G30158) on the Adjuster Crank Housing (G30099B) counter-clockwise. Turn the Hand Wheel clockwise until the Thickness Gauge (G30119) is raised sufficiently to allow a sample of work to be inserted between it and the lower Adjuster Stop (G30103). The thickness gauge is located on the right-hand side of the machine if you are looking from the front of the stitcher. With the work held flat in a horizontal position, turn the Hand Wheel counterclockwise until the work is firmly clamped between the Thickness Gauge and the lower Adjuster Stop. Turn the Hand Wheel back clockwise just enough to allow the work to be withdrawn from the Thickness Gauge, then return the Hand Wheel to the setting at which the work was clamped.

6.3 DISASSEMBLY (See Figure 5)

! WARNING ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY CORD FROM THE

POWER OUTLET BEFORE DOING ANY DISASSEMBLY WORK.

To disassemble the clutch-brake unit (124) it will first be necessary to remove the drive pulley (125) from the stitcher by removing the V-belt (30), retaining ring (51), and clutch anchor screw (27). Disconnect the ground and solenoid wires, and swing the anchor strap (24) clear of the drive pulley assembly and slide it off of the drive shaft. Remove the three screws (126) connecting the drive pulley to the clutch-brake unit.

When disassembling the clutch-brake unit, always mark the spring tang locations with reference to which slots they go in if the same springs are to be used for reassembly. To disassemble the clutch-brake unit, proceed as follows:

Release Actuator Lever so that clutch is engaged and brake released. Remove Retaining Ring and Shim Washer, if any, from the input Hub end. Remove input Hub by rotating opposite to the drive direction. Remove Retaining Ring and Shim Washer, if any, from the Mounting Plate end.

Remove Output Shaft Springs and Control Collar assembly by rotating Output Shaft in the drive direction (DO NOT DISASSEMBLE BRAKE HUB FROM MOUNTING PLATE). Remove Control Collar from the Output Shaft and Spring assembly by extracting toward the Brake Spring end.

6.4 ASSEMBLY (See Figure 5)

Replace Clutch, Brake and Anti-Backup Springs as required. Assemble Springs concentric and square to the Output Shaft. Assemble Control Collar over the Output Shaft and Spring assembly by inserting from the Brake Spring end (it will be necessary to extend Brake Spring using long nose pliers). Place the Brake Spring tang in any one (1) of the nine (9) Control Collar slots at random.

Assemble Output Shaft, Springs, and Control Collar assembly to the Mounting Plate assembly by rotating Output Shaft in the drive direction. Assemble Retaining Ring to Output Shaft at the Mounting Plate end (smooth surface facing Brake Hub). Check end play between Hub and Retaining Ring with feeler gauge. There should be 0.004” to 0.010” end play. Use Shim Washer to adjust.

Rotate Output Shaft in the drive direction until it reaches a full brake position. With the Clutch Spring Tang not in slot, insert the Input Hub by rotating opposite to the drive direction. Select the one (1) of ten

  1. Control Collar slots for the Clutch Spring Tang that will provide a 0.38” to 0.50” circumferential overtravel of the Control Collar when released.

Page 19 of 24

DeLuxe M1726D-AST 1/4" Wire Stitcher With Two 26D Heads User Manual, page 20
Text on page 20

Note: At this point it may be necessary to reselect one (1) of the nine (9) Control Collar slots for

the Brake Spring Tang (release Actuator Lever, remove Clutch Spring Tang from slot, then move Control Collar axially toward the Input Hub end and rotate it opposite to the drive direction to pick up the next slot). Continue to select Control Collar slots until the 0.38” to 0.50” specification is achieved.

Assemble Retaining Ring to Output Shaft at the Input Hub end (smooth surface facing Input Hub). Check end play between Input Hub and Retaining Ring with feeler gauge. There should be 0.002” to 0.003” end play on the Input Hub.

Reassemble unit to machine.

IMPORTANT: After Clutch is assembled to machine, the Clutch Plate should be free to float on

bearing - the anchor strap is only there to prevent rotation of the plate.

6.5 LUBRICATION

The clutch-brake unit is designed with the bearing parts made from sintered metal that has been impregnated with oil and normally do not need to be re-lubricated. In cases where there is severe duty, the unit may be re-oiled or flushed out with minimal or no disassembly by using a light bearing oil as used in manufacture (Shell Bearing Infusion Oil #33). If disassembly of the unit for cleaning and oiling is necessary, follow the detailed disassembly instructions to the point needed, flush and wipe parts in the oil to be used for re-lubrication. DO NOT USE SOLVENT to clean the parts. To get more cleaning action for the oil, it may be heated while cleaning the components, but bring the parts back to ambient temperature submerged in cool oil.

6.6 COIL REPLACEMENT

Place the Spring onto the Plunger with the narrow end towards the Actuator. Slide the Solenoid onto the Actuator and Plate Assembly. Assemble the Solenoid to the Plate Assembly with the cap screws and washers. DO NOT tighten more than finger tight.

Energize the Coil and adjust the gap between the Actuator and the top of the Collar Stop to 0.015” to 0.030” by sliding the Solenoid assembly. Note: push the Collar toward the Actuator to allow for Collar movement. Tighten the cap screws.

6.7 CONTROL COLLAR ADJUSTMENT (See Figure 6)

The stopping position of the head can be changed if necessary by adjusting the position of the stop cam on the control collar sleeve. Turn the machine manually until the driver is in the desired stopping position, the proceed as follows:

Work Retaining Ring “A” out of its groove and slide it forward on Sleeve “C”. Slide Cam “B” off Splines, rotate to align Collar Stop with Actuator and slide the Cam back on the Splines. The Actuator Prawl will have to be held clear during this operation. Slide the Retaining Ring back into its groove.

Note: Make sure brake is locked up before proceeding to insure getting the proper stop point.

Quick start

  1. Assemble the work table, spool bar brackets, spool bars, spool studs, wire spools, handwheel handle and wire guide springs; level the stitcher and lag it to the floor if desired.
  2. Attach the stitching heads following the head manual, turning the machine over by hand after each head is installed.
  3. Slide the heads and clinchers into position, mount wire spools near each head and thread the wire.
  4. With power disconnected, remove the belt guard, push the actuator to release the brake and turn the drive pulley one revolution to confirm the heads run freely.
  5. Set work thickness: unlock the hand wheel, clamp a sample between the thickness gauge and adjuster stop, back off slightly to withdraw it, then return to the clamped setting.
  6. Tilt the table for saddle or flat work, set the work guide and stops, and press the footswitch to stitch.

Troubleshooting

ProblemLikely causeFix (from the manual)
Actuator does not tripNo power to the coil, a coil with no continuity, a binding plunger, or insufficient actuator clearance over the stop collar.Check clutch wiring and switching, replace the coil if open, file a mushroomed plunger to its true diameter, and adjust the linkage. Page 17
Clutch-brake does not drive but input turnsDrive spring broken from a jam overload, or foreign matter stopping the collar.Replace the spring and check the hubs for damage, or clean the unit. Page 18
Clutch-brake jams and stalls the motorBroken drive spring tang, bound clutch output, or a lost internal spring tang.Replace the drive spring and check clearance between the output hub and brake hub. Page 18
Output does not repeat its stopping pointNot enough inertia to actuate the brake, broken brake spring tang, or loose collar locking screw.Replace the brake spring and check the adjustable collar locking screw. Page 18
Stitcher does not operate properly or is damagedWork thicker than the machine is set to handle.Reset the thickness gauge to the actual work thickness before stitching. Page 8
